Intellectual Property & DMCA Policy

If you suspect that your intellectual property rights have been infringed by FC Heritage, please follow the procedure detailed below.

A. Procedure for Reporting Intellectual Property Infringement It is our strict policy to (1) remove or disable access to any material (including text, imagery, and design elements) that we believe in good faith violates the intellectual property rights of a third party upon receiving a valid notice; and (2) terminate services for repeat offenders.

If you believe any content on our website infringes upon your copyright or other intellectual property, please submit a formal notice to our Designated Agent including the following details:

  1. A clear identification of the copyrighted work or intellectual property claimed to be infringed (including registration numbers, if applicable).

  2. A specific description of the allegedly infringing material, including (a) how it violates your rights and (b) its exact location on our website (e.g., URLs) to allow us to quickly verify its presence.

  3. Your full contact details: legal name, mailing address, phone number, and email address.

  4. A statement confirming your good faith belief that the use of the material in question is not authorized by the copyright owner, its authorized agent, or the law.

  5. A declaration, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is completely accurate and that you are the rights holder or are fully authorized to act on their behalf.

  6. A physical or electronic signature of the authorized person submitting the complaint.

B. Actions Taken Upon Receiving a Valid Notice Upon receipt of a fully compliant and bona fide infringement notification, our standard policy is to promptly remove or disable access to the disputed content.

C. Procedure for Submitting a Counter-Notice If we believe that the removed content is not infringing, or that we have the legal right to use it (including under fair use principles or with permission from the rights owner), we may issue a counter-notice to the Designated Agent containing:

  1. An identification of the removed or disabled content and a description of its original location on the website prior to removal.

  2. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that we possess a good faith belief that the content was removed or blocked as a result of a mistake or misidentification.

  3. Our complete contact information: name, mailing address, phone number, and email address.

  4. A statement confirming our consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which our address is located.

  5. Our physical or electronic signature.

Resolution of Counter-Notices: If a valid counter-notice is filed, we will forward a copy to the original complaining party, informing them that the removed material may be restored in 10 business days. Unless the rights owner files a legal action seeking a court order against us, the disputed content may be reinstated, or access to it restored, at our discretion within 10 to 14 business days following the receipt of the counter-notice.

Please note: Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any individual who knowingly makes false claims or misrepresents that content or activity is infringing may be held legally liable for damages, including attorney’s fees.
